ECP5 connectivity platform - Enables designers to evaluate key connectivity features of the ECP5 FPGA, including PCI Express, Gigabit Ethernet, DDR3 and generic SERDES performance.
Rapid prototyping of user functions - The features of the ECP5 Versa board can assist engineers with rapid prototyping and testing of their ECP5 designs.
Proof-of-concept demos - Several demos are available for download with the board to speed up development of PCI Express, Gigabit Ethernet, DDR3, soft error correction (SEC) and generic SERDES performance.
Features
- Half-length PCI Express form-factor : Allows demonstration of PCI Express x1 interconnection
- Electrical testing of one full-duplex SERDES channel via SMA connections
- USB-B connection for UART and device programming
- Two RJ45 interfaces to 10/100/1000 Ethernet to RGMII
- On-board Boot Flash : 128M Serial SPI Flash
- DDR3-1866 memory components (64Mb/x16)1
- Expansion mezzanine interconnection for prototyping
- 14-segment alpha-numeric display
- Switches, LEDs and displays for demo purposes
- Diamond® programming support
- On-board reference clock sources
1. ECP5 FPGAs support DDR3 memory at data-rates up to 800 Mbps
Diamond Free License - for the ECP5 Versa Development Kit Only
If you currently do not have access to the award-winning Lattice Diamond design software (version 3.5 or later), Lattice would like to offer you a special 1-year license, that enables design for the ECP5UM-45F FPGA used on the ECP5 Versa Board. To request this license, please follow instructions included with your ECP5 Versa Development Kit. Please note that this license is valid for Diamond design software(version 3.5 or later) and can be used only with the ECP5 Versa Development Kit. This is a limited-time offer.
